Should I even bother with Stanford

Are you looking at any LACs? Being an elite athlete would give you a significant advantage applying to NESCAC schools or Pomona/CMC I would think. And from those schools you can truly write your ticket, especially if you take advantage of their greater personal attention in order to cultivate your writing skills and expand your research experience. IMO, that would put you ahead of the game versus being a student that Stanford accepts with reservations. My friend played basketball at Duke and hated Coach K. Is he still there? Anyway, best of luck.
